In order to forestall the possibility of a wide-spread “flu” epidemic, the president’s office yesterday released orders to cancel the final pre-game football rally of the year, scheduled for tomorrow noon in Bovard auditorium.

“There is absolutely nothing to the rumor. The possibility of a widespread epidemic on the campus has been forestalled, and further steps of precaution will be taken by university officials when they deem it advisable,” he declared.
General alarm has arisen because of a city-wide influenza wave augmented by the fact that a number of SC students are unable to attend classes at the present time. The situation is less critical then alarming, it was asserted.
GREEK ROW HIT
Fraternity houses, however, have reported 35 case of illness and 25 residents of Elisabeth von KieinSmid hall have been stricken. Three assistants in the library and several employees of the Student Union have not reported to work for the past few days.
Two more varsity football players, Floyd Phillips and Chuck Mor-ril, raised the list of gridmen out with the flu to a total of 14.
CITY SCHOOLS STRICKEN
Large-scale outbreaks of the disease have appeared in elementary, junior, and senior high schools. Medical authorities are checking its spread by regular examinations and bv the early diagnosis of contractions. Students not evidencing symptoms are advised to attend classes because physicians consider the caution administered by officials more advantageous than preventative treatment at home.
Clara Belle Deaver, university nurse, estimated that possibly one-third of the student body has contracted the illness. These cases, however, include all phases ranging from mild symptoms to acute manifestations.
Moody Elected Lancer Chairman
Rather than restrict the administrative control of the Lancers to a single person, the organization elected Bob Moody as general chairman with an assistant staff of six co-chairmen at a meeting Tuesday.
Moody will represent the Lancers as a student body organization as far as dealing directly with the university is concerned. The co-chair-men will be vested with specific duties and responsibilities to be announced later and will cooperate with Moody in arranging Lancer functions.
The committeemen elected were: Sam Roeca. Vivienne Clark, Robert Irwin, Mary Ruth Stagg, Charles Peterson, and Leonora Jacobsen.
The present officers will be active until the beginning of next semester when a new group of committeemen will be called upon to officiate.
A tentative vote decided that the position of general chairman should be of a year’s duration, at least until the Lancers become more thoroughly established.

“There is absolutely nothing to the rumor. The possibility of a widespread epidemic on the campus has been forestalled, and further steps of precaution will be taken by university officials when they deem it advisable,” he declared.
General alarm has arisen because of a city-wide influenza wave augmented by the fact that a number of SC students are unable to attend classes at the present time. The situation is less critical then alarming, it was asserted.
GREEK ROW HIT
Fraternity houses, however, have reported 35 case of illness and 25 residents of Elisabeth von KieinSmid hall have been stricken. Three assistants in the library and several employees of the Student Union have not reported to work for the past few days.

Students not evidencing symptoms are advised to attend classes because physicians consider the caution administered by officials more advantageous than preventative treatment at home.

Rather than restrict the administrative control of the Lancers to a single person, the organization elected Bob Moody as general chairman with an assistant staff of six co-chairmen at a meeting Tuesday.
Moody will represent the Lancers as a student body organization as far as dealing directly with the university is concerned. The co-chair-men will be vested with specific duties and responsibilities to be announced later and will cooperate with Moody in arranging Lancer functions.
The committeemen elected were: Sam Roeca. Vivienne Clark, Robert Irwin, Mary Ruth Stagg, Charles Peterson, and Leonora Jacobsen.
The present officers will be active until the beginning of next semester when a new group of committeemen will be called upon to officiate.
A tentative vote decided that the position of general chairman should be of a year’s duration, at least until the Lancers become more thoroughly established.
